Here's a tip for installing the kicker key 200

[Xzavior1818]

So I just picked up the kicker key amp and was trying to find a good spot to put it. I came up with a solution that is bolt on and almost factory-ish that is less than 10$ but involves some custom work.

I used 2 corner brackets
2 bolts and 2 lock nuts
1 50 pound rated zip tie.
Some foam tape.

I have included pictures of what I got from Menards. You have to cut an inch above the first hole on both of the corner brackets. 1 corner bracket will use an bottom middle oem bolt by the hinge of the glove box. The other bracket will have to be zip tied through the metal holes on the side closest to the center console. Foam tape an inch wide ontop of the brackets that the amp will sit on. The amp will be bolted up to these on the far end. Using the 2 bolts pictured. What you get is an secure place to hide the amp. That is bolted up and can be adjusted easily when it's hooked up. I have just started the installation. I usually do this before I buy wires and such. But I feel like this information will help out so many people.

Also the plastic is left on the amp so I don't scratch it up trying to find a place for it.

Looks like the amp goes inline between the factory amp and the speakers, is that correct? Will you need to disassemble the dash and center console to get to the speaker wires? Thanks

The dash for sure. I seen a video of 4d tech doing the center console to get the cover off underneath the ac controls for 2 bolts but I think I can do that without taking the center console out. And yeah, gonna use a Pac harness to route the acm output to the input of the kicker, then loop back to the harness that goes to my jbl speakers in the doors. Their is power and ground in the fuse panel right by so I may go there for the amp. I plan to use speed wire for the installation. I have to get the kicker key dsp for the subwoofer also. So I want to pre wire a rca jack here close by to go to the back.
